I have decided to close The Relationship Forums.

It will be closing on April 1 2019, Australian Eastern Standard Time. This decision is based on a few factors... cost, member levels and activity, lack of ability to get advertisng on the site to help fund, sites like Reddit... There's not just no room for a forum any more.

As such, new registrations already closed a few weeks ago.

The site will be backed up and archived, and a single copy will be kept with me, in a password protected zip file to prevent data leak. I will not be selling the site, the site name, or the forums to anyone. ever. I respect your privacy.

If you want to remove your data before the end of March, please

1) click on your profile name in the top right hand corner of the home page
2) Click Edit Settings under your profile picture
3) Click on Privacy, the tab under "Back to Profile" (this URL may also work Click here to go to the privacy page
4) Untick "I agree to the Privacy Policy ..... If consent is withdrawn, this account will be deleted after 3 days"
5) Click Save.

This will then log you out. Don't log back in otherwise you will be re-granting consent. This will delete your user profile, posts, and all associated data (I'm told...)

I will NOT be responding to email requests after this date.

I'd like to offer a massive, heartfelt thank you, to everyone who has graced the site over the years, members gone and members present. You guys made this site a home for me for nearly 15 years, as well as the others from its inception, approximately 20 years ago.

The only place I will be looking for questions will be in the Site Feedback forum.

i think your idea about finding a friend with benefits is the best solution. i don't know how you put up with him only lasting a few minutes and rolling off you. i would dump him in preference of talented sex partner but seems you want to continue the relationship. therapy and counseling will not make him a better lover physically.

if you find a dynamic sex partner and are honest with him that you are only interested in good sex with him you will be much better off. this is the only way i think you will be able to stay with your current partner long term.

Ridiculous. So you are suggesting she find an eff buddy but stay with her current boyfriend... For what? That's absurd.

If her dominant love language is physical affection and she feels the need to have one night stand she needs to do the honorable thing and end the relationship. They are young and have no other relational experiences. The marriage is a recipe for disaster with mutual resentment and dissastifaction aka misery.

Its okay, Radio. I'm thinking Rabbit works in the porn industry so she sees the world through gash-pink coloured glasses.
